  Yeah, the entire Elite series has always used real star coordinates and names, at least for those close to Earth.

    Except for the original game, which used procedurally generated galaxies, and didn't feature Earth. This was the only way to get the game to fit into the 32K RAM of the original BBC Micro. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_(video_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_(video_game)

      You're right! It wasn't until the second game, Frontier: Elite, that they started using real stars around Sol.
